As slanted as John Stewart is in his own beliefs, I have admired him for putting Newt on the air and also for calling the media on their stupidity some times.

No, Fox News is the mirror of CNN.

MSNBC is a cartoon network.

Why is it every relatively successful comedian wants to be Hamlet?

Shut up, Jon. You are the second biggest hypocrite on cable, after Bill Maher.

Oh goody. Now that the American sheeple have elected a marxist crackhead terrorist lover as President, lil’ Johnny Leibowitz decides to name names.

The last study I saw said that Fox's NEWS division was Centrist, its editorial division was, of course, conservative. The rest of the MSM's NEWS divisions were Left of center.

For MSNBC to be another Fox, they'd have to turn way towards the right.

The fact that anyone gives a crap about what Jon Stewart says, and treats his mutterings as newsworthy, is indicative of the gross stupidity of the American populace that has given us Obama.

Stewart is right about MSNBC, but even a stopped clock can get things right a couple of times. But there was a study (by Pew, I think, no conservatives they) that showed that Fox was easily the most balanced of the news networks during the recent campaign. But even if Fox weren't that balanced, who cares? We need a counterbalance to the rampant liberalism of the other news outlets, which is heavily skewed towards the liberal viewpoint. But I guess the liberal worldview doesn't allow for conservative opinions.

Stewart is full of cr@p.

The men and women at Fox are ordinary Americans and look at the world the way ordinary Americans do. This can lead to an appearance of bias to the lefties but it is just an appearance.

Olberman on the other hand is a deranged America hater and always has been. His slant is intentional.

This is a typical leftist false-premise hit piece. If you want to say that commentators O’Reilly and Olbermann are opposite sides of the same coin, okay. But to equate Fox’s news coverage with MSNBC’s is laughable. Fox does a great job of balancing its newscasts while MSNBC is partisan-left all the way.

Stewart is merely firing a shot across the bow of M(isery)SNBC, they are the “new” target of his show, which makes sense, there really is no Republican or Conservative Structures to satirize.

So out with Hume, O’Reily and Hannity, and in with Olbermann, Madcow and The Tingle...

And the Daily Show is the same as the SeeBS Evening News. Both are pwned by Viacommie and both are as “factual” with their presentation of the news.

FTR, the author of this piece is David Knowles and he did an excellent job.
